Oooooo, never seen that before... NOT! Man, we should put a target on one of their kids homes.... Yeah, that's how we get our way! We should tell WalMart how we feel about the practice. I said the following: " have just been informed, through the article below, of your policy with regard to mail sent to the military at an APO address. http://www.stripes.com/news/some-ret...resses-1.97267 As a retired soldier, I find the overcharges for mail delivered to the military overseas an extremely repugnant practice. It is in poor taste to take advantage of the military in such a manner. I can only commend "The Stars and Stripes" for publishing the information. Until I hear that this policy has been corrected, you'll not find me shopping at WalMart. I will also do my best to spread the word about this practice. Thank you for your time, John Herring You, et al, with your English language abilities, should be able to do much better. Here's the place to go: http://walmartstores.com/contactus/feedback.aspx Whoops, this was meant for Gene. And, there was an 'I' at the beginning of the first sentence. I don't think they believe you will stop shopping there. You got it off your chest, so you'll be back in there looking for rollbacks in no time. Anyway, Tosk thinks the practice is entirely justifiable, since their software says it's OK... Never said that at all, you are starting to act like the plum or Harry if you are going to go down that road... All I said is that you were guessing, not stating facts when you stated as fact, that they were gouging and there was no way it cost them more... Period. I also quoted an authority... a postmaster.... Maybe there's a few other opinions, too...... http://tinyurl.com/4r9bz29 What does the postmaster have to do with Logistics within Walmarts operation? Has Obama gotten that far into our bedrooms? Are you on those drugs again? Can't answer the question huh? Now, show where Scotty has ever been on drugs as you are stating, liar. |

It's painful to read but a good lesson in how little it requires for people to consider themselves informed. The horse is dead, already..... Gene, it was nice to see someone intelligent enough to debate and disagree without name calling and insulting like Harry does. |

Oooooo, never seen that before... NOT! Man, we should put a target on one of their kids homes.... Yeah, that's how we get our way! Let's read this again, for content: On a $120 purchase, Walmart.com charged $10.35 to ship to an APO address, compared with $2.10 to a stateside address. For most items, Amazon.com charged the same to ship to an APO address as a stateside address. And Target offered shipping on a $120 purchase to an APO address for less than to a stateside address. $10.00 or $.10 why would you charge people more, just because they have an APO address?Amazon didn't do it. Target didn't do it. In fact, I'm not sure that you'd find anybody else doing it. It doesn't cost any more to ship to an APO than any other address, why would you charge more? Gouging.... and gouging folks on a fixed income that are likely a serrated family... already under stress.... Maybe it does cost them more, did you develop their logistics software? You just hate them because the original owner was Christian.. Sorry Gene, you are waaaaay too transparent on this one... You are totally NOT making any sense on this one. But, then, you've digressed from talking about why WalMart gouges people in the military to talking about religion. Apparently, you know that the practice is indefensible, so you're trying to pick some sort of oblique fight. So tell me all about when you developed Walmart's Logistics and shipping operations.. I mean, you seem to know exactly how it works, maybe you can prove there are no extra issues for them to send to APO's that others don't have internally.. I will give you some time on this one, so you can go back and check your records. I don't expect you to remember the software you wrote way back then and explain it all to us.. Tell me, what conceivable issue could there be in writing SGT John Smith PSC 999 Box 99 APO AE 99999 VS. SGT John Smith 123 Elm Street Sometown, NY 99999 Is some kind of weird ink involved? There are no logistics involved here, it is the POST OFFICE. You are talking nonsense..... Read this, again, for content: "But Earl Small, the postmaster at Wiesbaden Army Airfield, said that the shipping and handling charges have nothing to do with the military postal system or the U.S. Postal Service. "A company can charge whatever they want," said Small, who explained that items up to 108 inches are normally shipped at normal cost, but larger items often fall under a more expensive "balloon charge." According to Small, when companies ship to APO addresses in Europe, the order is shipped to New York, after which the Department of Defense picks up the tab to get the package to an APO address. On Walmart.com, the company says shipping costs will be higher to APO addresses due to higher transportation costs. "There is no higher transportation costs," Small said. "Companies are abusing the system and making a killing."" Talking sense to the Mini-man is.... just plain nonsensical! Another stupid post from Don. |
